OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ivermectin in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. METHODS: This is a systematic review of randomized clinical trials. We searched the electronic databases PubMed (1966-2021), EMBASE (1974-2021) and Clinical Trials (2021) and two evidence megabusers: Turning Research Into Practice (TRIP) database (2021) and Epstemonikos (2021). There was no geographic or language restriction, using DeCS descriptors and terms (Health Sciences Descriptors). The synthesis method involved the combination of similar studies in a narrative review. RESULTS: 463 citations were identified, and 2 studies were included, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Both studies showed very low quality and reduced sampling. CONCLUSION: The studies completed and published to date do not support the use of ivermectin in the prevention or treatment of COVID-19. It is suggested to carry out new quality clinical trials to elucidate the issue.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the opinion of the population about vaccines and if there was a decrease in the vaccine coverage during the pandemic. METHODS: A self-applied questionnaire was used with the internet with questions about de impact of the pandemic about the perception and adhesion of the population to the vaccine campaigns and about the probability to vaccinate to COVID-19 once there is an approved and available vaccine and de majority believe the vaccines should be mandatory. RESULTS: We reached 475 answers to the questionnaire that showed an increase of the importance that the population gives to vaccines in general after the pandemic, a decrease of the vaccine coverage during the pandemic and high probability that the population get vaccinated against COVID-19 once there is an available vaccine and most of the population consider that the vaccine should be mandatory, however a decreased vaccination coverage was detected during the pandemic. CONCLUSION: The results show a tendency of appreciation of the vaccines and a tendency of the population to get vaccinated as soon as there is an approved one, especially those that had or are having an education in the healthcare area, showing how the education in health contribute to the adhesion of the population to the vaccines, however the decrease in vaccine coverage is worrying. Also, it is possible to conclude that the population intend to vaccinate against COVID-19 as soon there is an approved vaccine in the country.

OBJECTIVE: Evaluate the respiratory distress of patients diagnosed with Acute Viral Bronchiolitis (AVB), using the Respiratory Discomfort Scale (Wood-Downes) - Ferrés and correlate the score of the Wood-Downes-Ferrés respiratory scale at the time of orotracheal intubation. METHODS: This is an observational study with design and quantitative character. The assessment of respiratory distress was performed before the time of tracheal intubation using the Wood-Downes scale according to the modification made by Ferrés. The assessment was carried out through the sum of the items: assessment of wheezing, circulation, respiratory rate (RF), heart rate (HR), ventilation and cyanosis, already containing classification and final severity scores. RESULTS: 15 patients were included in the study. Of the patients included, 60% of the sample is female, with a mean age of 4.86 months. RSV etiology was observed in 40% of patients. Four patients included in the study were transferred to another service, due to the lack of pediatric intensive care at the Hospital Geral do Grajau, and it was not possible to collect data on their clinical evolution. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that through the scale of respiratory distress (Wood-Downes) – Ferrés, it was possible to analyze the severity of acute respiratory failure in the patients analyzed in this study. It is necessary that a thorough assessment be made by all members of the multiprofessional team so that appropriate conduct is directed.

OBJECTIVE: Understand the role of the professional psychologist who works in public health facilities in the face of the health crisis triggered by the pandemic, their (im) possibilities for action and their understanding of health crisis situations. METHODS: Qualitative research developed through semi-structured interviews with psychologists working in public health facilities. The collected data were analyzed through thematic content analysis. RESULTS: The notion of health crisis is based on the consequences and affects that occurred in the social structure. Of the impossibilities of acting, the interruption of group activities stands out, bringing to professionals the challenge of finding and adopting another conduct to develop the bond with patients. CONCLUSION: Psychology has been gaining ground in this context due to the psychosocial impacts caused on the subjects due to the reorganization required by the moment.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the measurements of neck circumference, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI) between obese and eutrophic children. METHODS: Cross-sectional research, using primary and case control data, with a comparative approach of anthropometric variables, carried out with 218 students, 119 girls and 99 boys, from a municipal elementary school in São Paulo. Data collected were sex, age, body weight, height, neck circumference (NC), and waist circumference (WC). The BMI was calculated and classified using the BMI growth curve, according to age, in percentiles. For data analysis, non-parametric tests were applied. RESULTS: According to the BMI, 36.2% of the children were overweight when the agreement test was performed between all physical circumference measurements. However, there was a weaker agreement between BMI and NC and between BMI and WC measures. The correlation between the measures was greater between BMI and WC (62%), compared to between BMI and WC and between NC and WC. CONCLUSION: The use of the NC measure, as an additional measure for anthropometric assessment in pediatric patients, is suggested, due to its practicality and as a complement for screening and monitoring childhood obesity.

OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to carry out a systematic review in order to analyze available information of the Rhipicephalus sanguineus Complex. METHODS: A bibliographic review was carried out, through a research on public scientific articles databases, between August 2019 and January 2020. Search was filtered for scientific articles published between 2000 and 2020, in the search engines: SCIELO, PubMed and Google Scholar, following the guiding question: Rhipicephalus sanguineus complex? and using the descriptors: Rhipicephalus; Rhipicephalus sanguineus; Rhipicephalus sanguineus complex; Phylogeny Rhipicephalus; Rhipicephalus turanicus, Hemoparasitosis. RESULTS: The genus Rhipicephalus comprises a group called Rhipicephalus sanguineus complex, consisting of 17 species that are morphologically similar and that do not yet have an elucidated taxonomy determination, according to several authors, the tick species in question have their biosystematic state of difficult elucidation, as there are biological and genetic divergences. The present publication review yielded support to the hypotheses that the R. sanguineus taxon in America is, in fact, composed by two different lineages, that is nowadays attributed to the R. sanguineus species, but, as a matter of fact, the taxonomic status of R. sanguineus and R. turanicus in the Old World must be defined prior a possible new classification of the New World lineages of R. saguineus, therefore the Ripichephalus genus ticks in the Americas should all be identified as R. saguineus complex. CONCLUSION: Conclude that the R. sanguineus complex encompasses taxonomic, phylogenetic, morphological and biological differences, making its biosystematic state difficult to clarify.

OBJECTIVE: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is directly related to carcinoma of the cervix, oropharynx, anus, and penis. HPV infection can be prevented by vaccination and since 2017. Both boys and girls have free access to the vaccine by Public Health System. The present study aimed to carry out an epidemiological survey on HPV vaccination in boys, between 2017 and 2018 at the Dr. Afrânio de Mello Franco municipal elementary school. METHODS: A transversal, descriptive and analytical study was carried out. The data were collected through the application of a questionnaire to those responsible for the children. RESULTS: It was observed that the vast majority of those responsible for the boys were women (90.48%). In general, 36.84% did not adhere to the HPV vaccination campaign, although 97.37% of them considered vaccination important, regardless whether they adhered or not to the vaccination campaign. Among the main reasons for the non-adherence was the lack of knowledge that boys can get the vaccine (42.86%), the age that they could receive the vaccine (21.43%), and the lack of time (21.43%). CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that non-adherence to vaccination in boys is mainly due to the lack of information on the vaccine, the HPV infection, correlation of the infection with cancer of the penis and cervix. Dissemination of that knowledge, mainly by television might improve adherence to the HPV vaccination.
目的:人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)与宫颈癌、口咽癌、肛门癌和阴茎癌有直接关系。HPV感染可以通过接种疫苗来预防，自2017年以来。男孩和女孩都可以通过公共卫生系统免费获得疫苗。本研究旨在对2017年至2018年期间在Dr. afrnio de Mello Franco市立小学的男孩进行HPV疫苗接种的流行病学调查。方法:采用横向、描述性和分析性研究。数据是通过向负责儿童的人发放问卷收集的。结果:对男孩负责的绝大多数为女性(90.48%)。总的来说，36.84%的人没有坚持HPV疫苗接种运动，尽管97.37%的人认为疫苗接种很重要，无论他们是否坚持疫苗接种运动。不遵守疫苗接种的主要原因是男孩接种疫苗的知识不足(42.86%)、接种疫苗的年龄不足(21.43%)和接种时间不足(21.43%)。结论:我们的研究结果表明，男孩不坚持接种疫苗的主要原因是缺乏关于疫苗、HPV感染、感染与阴茎癌和宫颈癌的相关性的信息。传播这些知识，主要是通过电视传播，可能会提高HPV疫苗接种的依从性。

OBJECTIVE: To verify the anthropometric, professional, pain and physical activity characteristics of university professors working in undergraduate and graduate courses: a pilot study. METHODS: Twenty teachers from a Higher Education Institution were evaluated, which were divided into two groups: group of undergraduate teachers (GPG, n = 10); group of postgraduate teachers (GPPG, n = 10). The assessment process was divided into: step 1, anthropometric and professional characterization; step 2, assessment of pain / discomfort using the Nordic questionnaire and step 3, assessment of the physical activity level, using the questionnaire: International Physical Activity Questionnaire-IPAC. RESULTS: The GPPG showed 90% for females, 70% of whom were married with overweight BMI. Teaching time was 10 years. The practice of physical activity was 30 to 60 minutes. Hypercholesterolemia was found in 90% of cases. Discomfort remained at 90% in the lower back. The IPAC was 20% sedentary. In GPG, on the other hand, 80% can be observed for females, 70% single with 90% overweight. The teaching time was 10 years. Physical activity was 10 to 15 minutes. The prevalent disease was hypercholesterolemia. Discomfort was 90% in the lumbar region and 80% in the neck and shoulder. The IPAC was 60% sedentary. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that undergraduate teachers have more neck and shoulder pain, are overweight with a higher level of physical inactivity while graduate teachers have more lumbar pain with ideal weight and greater practice of physical activity.

METHODS: A questionnaire structured on liker scale (QSEnf 10) was applied to check the levels of familiar satisfaction during hospitalization. RESULTS: Most of the volunteers indicated that are satisfied with the services provided for each specialty, ranging from 81.5 to 100%. The average satisfaction score of 33 for the nursing team, 36.9 for doctors, 19.5 for physiotherapists, 19.0 for psychologists and 18.3 for nutritionists. On the other hand, a few were unsatisfied with the services provided in some specialties. CONCLUSIONS: Among the main factors associated with the dissatisfaction of family members is related to the lack of information or inaccurate information and the delay in responding to special requests.

OBJECTIVE: Verify relationships between the prevalence of CD, Human Development Index (HDI), the production and consumption of açaí in Pará, Brazil. METHODS: Cross-sectional study with secondary data on CD prevalence collected on the platform of the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System (DATASUS), notified in the period from 2007 to 2018. Data on HDI, local production and consumption of açaí, were obtained from the website and the Agricultural Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), respectively. Comparisons of the number of cases, HDI and local açaí consumption were performed using Spearman's correlation, while the evolution of annual production was verified by analysis of variance. Correlations with a p-value <0.05 were considered significant. RESULTS: There was no significant correlation between the number of cases of Chagas disease among the municipalities according to the HDI (p = 0.2000). However, there was an increase in the annual production of açaí (X2 = 40.25; p = 0.0001) and a significant correlation between local consumption of açaí and the prevalence of chagas disease (p = 0.003), although without statistical significance in the correlation between açaí production and oral transmission (p = 0.087). CONCLUSION: The prevalence of CD was associated with local consumption of açaí, but not by oral transmission or influenced by the HDI, in a non-causal way. The increase in annual production concerns about the increase in the prevalence of CD in the state of Pará.
